For the sake of harmonious sustainable development of economy and society, to measure periodically the value of performance of demonstrative small town construction and the effect of the \"demonstration\" tends to be very important. This paper utilizes AHP, Delphi method and MATLAB software to establish a set of evaluation indicators for the relevant purposes aiming at helping decision makers develop strategic plan and tactical programs in the concerning field in the future. Twenty indicators are carefully selected according to principles of recycling economy. The procedure of producing weights of indicators basing on AHP is concretely illustrated. Finally, the paper points out that construction of demonstrative small towns should be planned from high starting point, designed in superior level, and implemented in high quality, in accordance with requirements of establishing environment friendly society.","PeriodicalId":6326,"journal":{"name":"2009 16th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management","volume":"56 1","pages":"223-227"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86102545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, on the assumption that all the individuals are uniformly distributed within the interval, the method of normalization of interval symbolic data is presented. Then, the method of normalization of interval symbolic data of arbitrary distribution is studied. For this purpose, the mean and variance of interval symbolic data is brought forward in advance.

The meaning of performance of a public project is interpreted as that, to which degree the needs from the stakeholders of it have been satisfied. So to get the index system, the core value of the public project is firstly formed by identifying the key stakeholders and the needs appeal from them. And then the indexes of the public project performance are obtained accordingly. By this method, the index system for public project performance is established top-down. Therefore, the established index system based on the analysis of stakeholders in life-cycle of public project is a multi-dimensional and Multi-view one, which is hence of great scientificity and systematicness.","PeriodicalId":6326,"journal":{"name":"2009 16th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management","volume":"256 1","pages":"1913-1916"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90519868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper shows the replacement reasons and preferences related to the different type of life cycle by studying literatures. It is clear by analyzing a basic LCC model that sensitivity of the LCC functions on life cycle gaps is less than the discount rate when life period is longer, so the life cycle seems to be a secondary factor for LCC optimization. But some special replacement projects have been found by an empirical study on some subway engineering assets. The results have demonstrated that the deviation between predicted and actual life greatly affected the LCC of subway engineering, and these gaps mainly contributed the recurring investment to the LCC. A new concept of built environment life cycle is put forward.","PeriodicalId":6326,"journal":{"name":"2009 16th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management","volume":"40 1","pages":"740-744"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90601323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the perspective of resource-based view, this paper comprehensively establishes the framework of R&D capability, and conducts an empirical research to explore the relationship between R&D capability and innovation performance of firms, combining with the data from innovative survey of \"Optics Valley of China\" in 2006. The finding proves that innovation performance is closely related to the total improvement of R&D capability. The number of patents owned and experimental development input intensity are the most important factors significantly affecting firm's innovation performance. For large firms, the number of science and technology center is also found to be the R&D capability affecting the innovation performance, while the ratio of R&D personnel is surprisingly found to be vital for small firms. Hence, high-tech firms should establish feasible and appropriate strategies in terms of size and resources condition, in order to get better and quicker development. At the same time, the authorities should set down innovative incentive policies and patent regulations to build a harmonious environment.","PeriodicalId":6326,"journal":{"name":"2009 16th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management","volume":"2016 1","pages":"1922-1926"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87826166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
